I have mixed feelings about this one b/c miscommunication is so frustrating, and this book has a lot of that.
However, it still worked for me. I'm a sucker for a second chance (when it's done well), and I love a book where you can explore a couple's past and go along with them as they reconnect and find their way back to each other... by figuring out themselves!

I think fans of Carley Fortune will like this book.... a love story with an emotional edge, a lot of heart, and characters you can't help but connect with, even though they really frustrate you.

Thank you Penguin Group Putnam, @putnambooks and NetGalley, @netgalley for my advance

[arc review] 

i'm kind of sad i didn't like this one that much. i thought it was okay but i'll be so fr, i don't understand the need to mention or reference acotar in books. a physical copy of acotar is pretty important to the plot of this book but at the same time, i felt like it could've easily been any other book and the impact of it would've been the same. 

acotar aside, i felt like ash and ellie were sort of just going through the motions. i was very confused trying to follow the writing style of the book in part 1, where ash and ellie meet when interrailing through europe. they has a whirlwind 3 days and then poof ash is gone. 

they meet again 6 years later, when she's a new gardener and finds out ash is a viscount. ash keeps trying to talk to ellie but she doesn't really want to talk because she feels like she's been betrayed in some way. their interactions from part 2 onward seem sort of childish to me and gave me a weird feeling. i wasn't a fan of that or the way ellie treated ash.
